Chris Evans: Noel never forgave ‘Be Here Now’ joke
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 23 June 2011
Chris Evans says that Noel Gallagher has not spoken to him since he mocked the third Oasis album ‘Be Here Now’ on ‘TFI Friday’ in 1997.
Speaking to Zoe Ball during the previously reported 2DAY on Radio 2, Evans said: “When ‘Be Here Now’ came out we were all so disappointed with the album we opened up a ‘TFI Friday’ with a defibrillator trying to resuscitate it and give the album some life – he saw the joke and has never spoken to me since”.
Evans noted that Noel himself has since admitted ‘Be Here Now’ was weak, but added that he didn’t expect the former Oasis guitarist to ever get back in touch. “No never gonna happen”, he reckoned, “doesn’t matter”.
